Go & Explore. Take a walk around my imagination
IN MY DAY
Logline: In this black and white drama Asif is in love with his white British girlfriend Michelle. But, the local skinheads from the city and her parents from the countryside aren’t accepting of the relationship. The true reason for their hostility is only revealed at the end. The BIFA qualifying film has just premiered on Directors Notes and will also have a run on Omeleto. You can find out more about the process and thinking behind the film in my Directors Notes interview here: https://directorsnotes.com/2025/01/09/william-grave-in-my-day/
The film stars established talent like Hector Bateman-Harden who is starring in Wes Anderson's next film 'The Phoenician Scheme' and Merelina Kendall (from The Reader, Billy Elliot, 1984) as well as brilliant up and coming talent in our lead actors Omar Hashmi (Asif) and Lauren Clancey (Michelle), as well as our supporting cast of Julie Wood, Ian Ray-White, Kane Surry, Samuel King, Loren Bow and Matt Hansen.
